Blue has always been the bartender shortcut to making a glass look like something. Here the colour comes from Andalusia, from a house that has otherwise spent more than a century on cask aged wine, and behind the blue hides passion fruit.

Expert description

Bodegas Cruz Conde VDKA Blue is a Spanish Vodka Liqueur with passion fruit from Montilla in Andalusia, bottled at 17%.

The spirit is made at the house distillery, Destilerias La Cordobesa, where copper stills from the first half of the twentieth century are still in service. It is the same place the family produces anis, pacharan, brandy, rum, gin and whisky, and the VDKA range is simply the most modern branch on a fairly old tree.

At 17% Blue falls outside the vodka category. The European Union draws the line at 37.5%, which is why the producer calls the range a spirit drink derived from vodka. That is a deliberate decision: a liqueur at this strength can carry a whole drink without making it strong, and it can be poured generously without taking command of the glass.

The passion fruit is the real difference. It brings a tart tropical edge that suits the loud blue far better than plain sweetness would. Mixed with citrus and ice it becomes the kind of drink people photograph before they drink it.

Tasting notes

Nose

Passion fruit and a hint of mango. Lemon peel and a light sugar sweetness sit behind them.

Palate

Sweet and tart at once, and lively with it. The tropical fruit fills the middle and the acidity cuts through before the sweetness can settle.

Finish

Short, fresh and slightly tart. The fruit lets go quickly and the mouth comes clean again.

Specifications

Name: Bodegas Cruz Conde VDKA Blue
Producer: Bodegas Cruz Conde
Region/Country: Montilla, Andalusia, Spain
Type: Spanish Vodka Liqueur with passion fruit

The same distillery in Montilla also makes whisky and agave distillates. An Andalusian bodega that fills Pedro Ximenez into casks and runs agave through copper stills belongs among the rarities of Spain.

Listen to our podcast:

In Montilla the bodega stands with whitewashed walls and cool half darkness, and behind them lie the casks of fino and Pedro Ximenez. Somewhere else in the same house they are filling bottles with red. Not wine, but vodka and red fruit, an Andalusian side road nobody saw coming.

Expert description

Bodegas Cruz Conde VDKA Red is a Spanish Vodka Liqueur with red fruits from Montilla in Andalusia, bottled at 17%.

Bodegas Cruz Conde was founded in 1902 by the army commandant Rafael Cruz Conde and sits in Montilla south of Cordoba. The house is known first of all for wines from D.O. Montilla-Moriles, but alongside the wine the family has spent decades building a broad spirits catalogue: brandy, vermouth, anis, rum, gin and, yes, vodka.

The 17% deserves a pause. The producer itself calls the VDKA range a spirit drink derived from vodka, and below 37.5% it cannot legally be sold as vodka in the European Union. In practice it is a vodka liqueur: sweetened, coloured and dialled down in strength so it can be mixed without shouting over the rest of the glass.

Red is the red fruit version. The colour is strong and almost neon in the glass, and the sweetness arrives with the first sip, but the fruit carries a light acidity that keeps it from reading as pure sugar. It was designed as a cocktail ingredient, and that is where it makes the most sense.

Tasting notes

Nose

Strawberry and raspberry, clear and straight up. Behind them sits a boiled sweet tone and a faint hint of cherry.

Palate

Sweet and light bodied. Red fruit fills the entire middle, while the alcohol registers only as a mild warmth right at the end.

Finish

Short and berry sweet. A touch of acidity turns up and clears the mouth faster than the sweetness suggests.

Specifications

Name: Bodegas Cruz Conde VDKA Red
Producer: Bodegas Cruz Conde
Region/Country: Montilla, Andalusia, Spain
Type: Spanish Vodka Liqueur with red fruits
ABV: 17%

Serving suggestion: Over ice cubes with lemon soda, or as the colour in a simple berry cocktail with lime.

Red fruits · Sweet · Light · Cocktail friendly

Did you know?

The wines of Montilla-Moriles mature under a veil of yeast just as sherry does, but they are usually never fortified. The Pedro Ximenez grape turns so sugar rich in the Andalusian heat that the wine reaches the strength the flor needs entirely on its own.

In 2015, Vincenzo Bongiorno set out to honour his father and ended up creating a liqueur that honours all of Sicily instead: Don Pepé, built on the island's iconic blood oranges and a personal recipe found nowhere else.

Expert's Description

Bongiorno Don Pepé is a Sicilian fruit liqueur at 28% ABV created by Vincenzo Bongiorno in 2015 as a personal tribute to his father.

The liqueur is built on the peel of iconic Sicilian blood oranges and a range of natural ingredients that together create a deep, aromatic and characterful taste experience. The colour is naturally ruby red, and the nose opens with warm citrus aromas, light spice and a discreet sweetness.

Taste

The palate is full and lively with clear notes of blood orange, a mild bitterness from the peel and a rounded sweetness that gives the liqueur its characteristic balance. Its fiery, aromatic profile gives Don Pepé both soul and edge, and the finish is warm and citrus-driven.

The coffee beans traditionally floating in the sambuca glass have here moved straight into the bottle. Bucah Coffee Flavored marries sweet anise with roasted coffee in a shot that feels like an espresso and a digestif at once.

Expert's Description

Bucah Coffee Flavored is an Italian sambuca liqueur at 38% ABV in which the classic anise base is flavoured with coffee.

Taste

The nose blends sweet star anise with roasted coffee beans, and the palate follows with a sweetish anise base cut by a dry, lightly bitter coffee note. The finish is warm, dark and lightly roasted.

Sambuca traditionally belongs to the Italian evening, where the glass is set alight, anise burns sweetly in the nose, and conversation flows until the bottle is empty. Bucah takes the familiar formula and turns both sweetness and strength up a notch.

Expert's Description

Bucah Original is an Italian sambuca liqueur at 38% ABV that breaks slightly from the classic sambuca style by being less syrupy-sweet and more powerful in flavour.

The liqueur is built around the characteristic anise flavour sambuca is known for, but Bucah emphasises a smooth, round mouthfeel rather than pure sweetness. It is traditionally served ice-cold as a shot, often with three coffee beans in the glass in the Italian custom known as "con la mosca".

Taste

The nose is intense with star anise and liquorice, while the palate is sweet, smooth and warmly spiced with a touch of fennel. The 38% strength gives a noticeable, but not unbalanced, alcoholic bite on the finish.

Sambuca is rarely thought of as a fruit liqueur, but Bucah nonetheless blends the classic anise with pomegranate's tart-sweet blush, creating a shot that plays several notes at once.

Expert's Description
